Tsinker: Aeronautics Defense Systems is likely to be deprived of a  license after investigating the fact of UAV testing on live targets  together with Azerbaijan

ArmInfo. In Israel, an investigation is being conducted in connection with information about the testing of Israeli drones on Armenian servicemen. The former deputy, political scientist, co-chairman of the public international forum Israel-Armenia Alexander Tsinker told a press conference in Yerevan on September 15.

"Most likely, the company that produces these drones will be deprived  of a license after the investigation, because it has violated not  only the rules of operation, but also the principles that Israel  adheres to on this issue, namely the ban on testing on live targets  and even jointly with a third party. As is known, the Ministry of  Defense of Israel issues licenses to private companies engaged in the  military-industrial complex, at present this company is sealed and,  most likely, will be deprived of the license," Tsinker said.

He also noted that he knows well the journalist who prepared the  report for the publication of "Maariv", and he has good enough ties  in the defense ministry of Israel, which makes one think.

In his turn, the founder and head of the Institute for National  Strategic Studies of the Ministry of Defense of Armenia, co-chairman  of the public forum "Armenia-Israel", lieutenant-general Hayk  Kotanjyan noted that the Armenian side in a friendly atmosphere  expressed its position on this issue, in particular, that the  Armenian society negatively regards the fact of Israel's sale of  weapons to Azerbaijan, as well as the fulfillment of long-term  contracts in the defense sphere. "The Vice Speaker of the Israeli  Knesset, who recently visited Armenia, promised to convey the  position of the Armenian side to the Israeli authorities on this  issue," Kotanjyan said.

The publication of the test of the Israeli UAV drone Orbiter 1K in  Azerbaijan, reported the .  According to the publication,  representatives of Azerbaijan, considering the possibility of  purchasing new Israeli drones, asked Aeronautics Defense Systems  employees to demonstrate the capabilities of the Orbiter 1K  dronakamidze.

According to the newspaper, Israeli operators refused,  after which the leaders of Aeronautics Defense Systems equipped the  drones and led them to the goal. They did not hit the targets, but  one of the drones fell 100 meters from the positions of the Armenian  Armed Forces.  Later it became known that the Ministry of Defense of  Israel is conducting a check in connection with accusations against  the company Aeronautics Defense Systems - the manufacturer of  military drones Orbiter.
